PRE-ORDER NOW The Micro-Manouche is the new standard in magnetic pickups for every kind of Gypsy Jazz guitar. Robin Nolan has called the Micro-Manouche: "simply the best there is!"


It's well established that all of the classic Django style surface-mount magnetic gypsy jazz pickups (e.g., Stimer) suffer from single-coil noise and poor string-to-string balance: a brash and overly loud "b" string and a relatively dead "g" string. The Micro-Manouche solves all of these issues with panache and strikes the perfect balance with the classic gypsy jazz Argentine type silvwered copper strings: the Micro Manouche is GUARANTEED to have optimal string balance or your money back and NO NOISE—it's a humbucker. And it mounts and removes in seconds with no modification to your prized instrument. Best of all it avoids that annoying piezo "quack".



However, don't think of this as merely a "gypsy pickup"—the highly versatile Micro-Manouche pickup has become a favorite among all players who use acoustic strings: archtop jazz players, acoustic guitarists, reso and dobro players and is even used on niche instruments like the, cigar-box guitar, the Indian veena and balalaika! Endorsed by professional players like Robin Nolan, George Cole, Marc Athlan, Ghali Hadefi, Benji Nini Winterstein, and Will Dickerson. The Micro-Manouche is exceptionally well-balanced and works with all steel-core acoustic strings: phosphor-bronze, Coated (Elixir™), Monel™ and Argentine (silvered copper) strings. It's truly a UNIVERSAL pickup.​


Please note: if you use regular electric strings, jazz flat wounds, or nickel please use my Micro-Stealth PAF pickup.


This is the pickup for you if you want the most natural tone and best string balance. It sounds like YOUR instrument. 30-day money back satisfaction guarantee. One year full parts and labor warranty against defects.

​Introducing my new Micro-Manouche Universal humbucking pickup for All Guitars and stringed instruments. This little marvel is turning out to be a favorite among archtop jazz players, Gypsy Jazz enthusiasts, and even on niche instruments like the, cigar-box guitar, the Indian veena and balalaika!

Simple and effective: The Micro-Manóuche has been 10 years in the making: my design intention was to combine the best features of my most successful pickups for jazz guitar (Mini Humbucker, Nuevo and PAF) into a simple and cost-effective pickup housed in a beautiful laser-engraved cover. After much experimentation I am proud to say that the new Micro-Manouche is the the most affordable, well-balanced and versatile Krivo Humbucker available: Clarity and warmth with a bit of a gritty edge to the tone. 
The Micro-Manouche has exceptionally great string-to-string balance: this pickup has completely solved the perennial balance issues which have plagued other magnetic pickups for gypsy-jazz guitars.

Will Dickerson
"I am blown away by the quality of the craftsmanship and the crisp tone of the Micro-Manouche. It has a bright, clean, almost acoustic-sounding tone that is perfect both for playing with a quiet trio and with a full band." 
—Will Dickerson: professional guitarist.
